<p>Hi I&#39;m Alex, a Kubernetes-focused gremlin from the tropical island of Mauritius. I do Cloud Native stuff for work, and for my not-yet-overengineered homelab. I&#39;m also an advocate for FOSS over here, and you&#39;ll find me active in the local tech communities.<br />Other than that, I like Linux and SBCs, and writing Rust. I just like building things :P<br />Oh and, shitposts inside, follower only</p><p>Please have something in your account before sending a follow-req, thank you :)</p>

    @jana Thank youu ^^ It wouldn&#39;t have been as fun without you testing it :P Also, in case anyone else sees this, I have a massive thread of all my thoughts while making KRaft: https://moris.social/@AlexB/115311966557663263

    I&amp;#39;m at KubeCon Day 0 with the project lightning talks and co-hosted events today. This morning I picked up my badge; look ma, im a speaker!!

    KubeCon is happening, and, unsurprisingly, I have neither the time nor energy to live-toot. Soooo, have some pictures instead! Day 0, I saw the project lightning talks, as well as the colo track Cloud Sovereignty Day. After that, we had an afterparty at CiliumCon which was a lot of fun with the labs. Yesterday was day 1, and I spent most of my time going between sponsor booths. Did have a good talk about Go vs Rust though!

    Advantage of the European cold is that it keeps your beers freezing :P

    A little bit later, one could catch me and my friend running to the metro station through the hail and rain and wind... https://moris.social/@AlexB/116296238718642819

    Another neat advantage of the European cold is that my phone can actually charge fast. Like what do you meaaaan I can d 0-100 in 30 minutes without turning my phone into the sun. It&amp;#39;s like 3x as long back home :O

    European weather can be intriguing - one time it&amp;#39;s sunny (not to be confused with warm) and thirty minutes later, you&amp;#39;re running through hail and wind and rain to get to the metro station. I can say I&amp;#39;ve experienced everything there is to experience with Europe :)

    I just gave a talk on the biggest stage of my life, in front of the biggest audience of my life. Words can&amp;#39;t express just how insanely cool this was, I&amp;#39;m incredibly happy and it went so well. I talked about KRaft, my project to make a cloud service provider run out of my homelab, and any infra anywhere in the world.

    I had fun taking lizard pictures in the garden earlier. Though these pictures came at the cost of no less than 10 mosquito bites

    It is 5 pm in Amsterdam. I&amp;#39;m waiting on my baggage - the plane unloading has been delayed. The baggage area is full of british people walking around, looking miffed (myself included tbf). It has been 24 hours of non-stop travelling for me; beds have been reduced to a far away concept.

    I think it would be fun to have one of those dev machines with one of the a-lot-of-cores Ampere CPUs. Just so I can compile Rust without making my desktop grind to a halt :)
